    Sorry, I thought that was obvious. My bad.

    I am not sure religious leaders shouldn't say "Jesus said to feed the poor, maybe we should look at our priorities". I'm not even sure I care that Falwell trains politicians. I care about the lying and hypocrisy and the ignoring the parts of the bible that don't let them get rich and impose their will on others...... But, if your God says you should help others, then maybe the church encouraging such behavior is not a bad thing. I don't even have an issue with some of Christianity working against abortion. I have an issue with some of them also not caring about poor people and politics.

    Just don't try to prostlytize. Or force your religion on us thru law and regulation. You know, the FIRST ammendment to the Constitution..... let's be honest, many people who say they love the constitution and the bible only love the parts they want to love when it serves them, and largely ignores any inconvenient parts, like freedom of religion or love thy neighbor as I have loved you..... edit: I'm talking about politicians here, and those who scream the loudest in the political realm, even if they aren't technically in the government.

    2 pages on a guy CLE didn't sign.......maybe you should start a Chris Davis thread. All I know is that if I was a Tribe fan, I'd be disappointed they didn't buy a bat or two, Even minor upgrades. Next year's class is awful.

    Every single one of them is talking about God telling them to run, or starting a proselytizing part of the government, or some such. Call it pandering if you want, the right is currently beholden to a certain kind of Christianity.

    I hope he faces Park and Sano......

    Harballtalk has a nice little post on him, and KLAW is worried about batgirl.....

    That's how I read the article, yes. His RP rankings only include players that have done some relieving, so SP that he thinks will be RPs were not ranked.

    Hire a personal chef 1 week a month.....my wife has some clients that only use her services* 1 time a month just for a break. *not sure that sounds right

    Falwell Jr just said this: "Jesus never intended to give instructions to political leaders on how to run a country" Do these right wingers have no sense of humor, or amazing senses of humor?

    Rhenquist and Warren were never judges (to name two.....)......
  12. Mike Sixel
    Today he released his top prospects by position..... Alex Meyer is the number 1 RP prospect in baseball. He also has Burdi and Reed in the top 10, and mentions that if you can build a bullpen from drafted RP, the Twins have enough guys to do it.

    A sort of combo deal. I think I have a thread started here, I'll find it and link it. But, basically, the worst 10 teams get some number, say, $10MM, to spend on any three players they want. They have an exclusive window of 7 days to get deals. Then, they and the next 10 worst teams get $5MM to spend on any players they want, but the worst three can only sign 3 across the two sessions. Etc..... It isn't fully fleshed out, but basically, let the players have more choice where they go, and let the team that sits with the 5th best record to go all out for 1 guy if they want, or the worst team to sign 3 guys instead of 1, if they want. Some combo of a pool, and a draft.

    If I can recall who they are, I'll ask some friends (I have two that love them, but now I can't remember which ones).
  15. Mike Sixel
    Oh ya, I want all three......
  16. Mike Sixel
    Possibly.....I wonder how much teams will KNOW what the penalties will be before the signing time. Also, I wonder how far back the penalizing will go...... Also, if the penalties apply to an international only draft, they'll pretty much be the same as the current penalties, in effect. I hope there is not international draft, but then I don't want a draft at all.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'd guess you'd lose a 2nd round pick.......that is TOTALLY worth blowing through your limits, if you can sign 3 or 4 excellent prospects imo.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Well, my wife is a personal chef.......and we are about to move to downtown Portland (please let it happen soon), so, I don't think I need a chef (and I like to cook, which I expect to do more of when we move if I keep my job and my days end around 330). The driver is an interesting idea. If that includes trips to wineries when we move, that would allow us to go to more than 1 in a day.....but one of the reasons we are moving downtown is so we don't have to drive most of the time. The massage thing, though? I love getting massages, but am too cheap to pay for them consistently. So, that one. but, this is a great, great question, imo.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Ouch...... And, I never know how far to push certain topics with people I don't actually know.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Ha, no, he's married too. I don't know many single people right now. That was more of a "how big can Chicago be, she must know him" post......
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure I totally agree with this, but I can understand it.
  22. Mike Sixel
    is their job to try to improve the team, but fail, or to improve the team? I don't care if they tried to sign guys, I care if they added talent to the roster. Butera tried to hit, doesn't make him good at his job.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Do you know Steve Townsend? He lives in Chicago, is an artisty type, and plays board games.......
  24. Mike Sixel
    I totally get that decision, btw.
  25. Mike Sixel
    refined. We discussed alcohol, but not willing to go there. If we found a 2 week cleanse we really liked, we'd probably do it....
